Maximize Opportunities with SDVOSB Certification

The Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Certification is a powerful tool that gives veteran entrepreneurs a competitive edge in federal contracting. Designed to support businesses owned by service-disabled veterans, this certification provides access to set-aside and sole-source contracts, helping veteran-owned businesses grow and thrive in the government marketplace.

With the federal government aiming to award at least 3% of all contracting dollars to SDVOSB-certified businesses, this certification creates a direct path to securing high-value contracts. If you're a service-disabled veteran business owner looking to scale your company, Summit Forge is here to help you navigate the SDVOSB certification process and position your business for success.
